bill clinton is unique. he blends the ability to argue policy and politics unlike any politician i've ever seen. anybody suffers by comparison, but the idea is clinton is strongest among democrats where obama is weakest, where he's relatively strong on white working class voters, for instance. like what the jewish mother says about chicken soup, couldn't hurt, but could it hurt by contrast? i'm inclined to think no. >> a.b., jeff brings up a good point. president obama taking bill clinton to youngstown, ohio. he's not looking to pick up young black voters with bill clinton by his side. he's looking to pick up those blue collar, those elusive white men the president has had so much trouble with. if you were involved in the campaign, would you have kept these two together on the trail or had them hit separate cities in some of the swing states? >> that's an interesting question. i think it's more powerful when president clinton is with president obama. the clinton bump, and it was literally called that followi
